Remove the entrails from the anchovies and wash them under cold running water.
Put them in boiling water and cook for 2 minutes together with the bay leave and oregano. Drain the anchovies and let them cool.
Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Chop the parsley together with the garlic cloves, capers and anchovy fillets.
Dilute the chopped ingredients with the lemon juice and olive oil. Stir accurately.
At this point remove the head and bones from the anchovies and arrange the fillets on a deep serving plate. Spoon the green sauce over them.
Chill until serving.
